Dignity, Vocation and a deeper understanding

October 22, 2022 ~ Teri Lucas Terificreations ~ Leave a comment

On the wall in my living room is a framed poster of St. John Paul II, there are tickets to the Mass in Central Park and a t-shirt from being "ushers" in Yonkers. In the cabinet is a bottle of water blessed by him at St. Joseph Seminary in Yonkers. My husband saw the helicopter … Continue reading Dignity, Vocation and a deeper understanding

40 Days of Prayer for Quilters – Day 5

May 14, 2018May 14, 2018 ~ Teri Lucas Terificreations ~ Leave a comment

Not all are called to be artists in the specific sense of the term. Yet, as Genesis has it, all men and women are entrusted with the task of crafting their own life: in a certain sense, they are to make of it a work of art, a masterpiece. It is important to recognize the … Continue reading 40 Days of Prayer for Quilters – Day 5

Forty Days of Prayer for Quilters – Day 2

May 3, 2018May 3, 2018 ~ Teri Lucas Terificreations ~ Leave a comment

Jaws made its cinematic debut in 1975. Not even in double digits at the time I have memories that still gives me shivers even though I never saw the movie. Ever. One of the neighborhood kids decided it would be okay to tell me, an under 10 year old, about the movie. That led to … Continue reading Forty Days of Prayer for Quilters – Day 2

Proverbs 31 – On Being a good Woman

November 20, 2017November 20, 2017 ~ Teri Lucas Terificreations ~ 2 Comments

When one finds a worthy wife, her value is far beyond pearls. Her husband, entrusting his heart to her, has an unfailing prize. She brings him good, and not evil, all the days of her life. She obtains wool and flax and works with loving hands. She puts her hands to the distaff, and her … Continue reading Proverbs 31 – On Being a good Woman

Holy Week

April 9, 2017April 9, 2017 ~ Teri Lucas Terificreations ~ Leave a comment

This is by far my favorite week of the Liturgical year. It is our Salvation represented in glorious display. We begin this week proclaiming Jesus as our King, laying palms at his feet as he rides into Jerusalem on an ass. And by the end of the week we'll be shouting Crucify him with gusto, … Continue reading Holy Week

Motherhood/Nurturing

May 11, 2014 ~ Teri Lucas Terificreations ~ Leave a comment

NOTE: The excerpt from "On the Dignity and Vocation of Women" is long - the most important bit (to me) has been highlighted (bold/italics). Please feel free to skip down to that, then read my personal comments. In the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth, … Continue reading Motherhood/Nurturing

Creative-ness

April 28, 2014 ~ Teri Lucas Terificreations ~ 1 Comment

"That is why artists, the more conscious they are of their “gift”, are led all the more to see themselves and the whole of creation with eyes able to contemplate and give thanks, and to raise to God a hymn of praise. This is the only way for them to come to a full understanding … Continue reading Creative-ness

John Paul II

April 27, 2014 ~ Teri Lucas Terificreations ~ Leave a comment

To all who are passionately dedicated to the search for new “epiphanies” of beauty so that through their creative work as artists they may offer these as gifts to the world. - Letter to Artists, St. John Paul II 1999 When John Paul II passed away in 2005 I watched his Funeral Mass on EWTN. … Continue reading John Paul II

I've gotta find my original copy of On the Dignity and Vocation of Women. So after Ruth gave me the copy I set it aside for a while. I got married, moved, started a new ministry and needed to have a more open heart. I needed to be ready to read what the Church's teaching … Continue reading women!

A prayer by St. Augustine
Prayer:
Breathe in me, O Holy Spirit, That my thoughts may all be holy;
Act in me, O Holy Spirit, That I love but what is holy;
Strengthen me, O Holy Spirit, To defend all that is holy;
Guard me, then, O Holy Spirit, That I always may be holy.

Amen.
